i heard that manuals and autos for the 335 are about the same performance wise.. but i was wondering.. from what about from a roll? shouldnt the manuals be faster? all opinions welcome.. thanks!

i'll probably get flamed for saying this but i think the auto's are faster since it is nearly impossible to shift a manual as fast as the step shifts. during a roll if it takes you .3seconds to shift and the auto .15 (which i think is the actual spec on the step) then you are already at a disadvantage.

yea.. that may be true but what about the power lost to the wheels.. in autos you usually lose more at the wheels than you do a manual right?
